: Article regarding Salman's health.
I can't read the Economist's article but I will repeat what I posted in the earlier thread:
"In August 2010, Prince Salman underwent spine surgery in the United States and remained out of the kingdom for recovery. He had one stroke and despite physiotherapy, his left arm does not work as well as his right. After his appointment as Crown Prince various analysts including Simon Henderson argue that he is suffering from dementia. In addition, he is believed to be suffering from Alzheimer's disease."

I can't help but wonder just how long Saudi Arabia can continue to function with an endless succession of sick and dying old men waiting their turn to take the helm of the world's most oil-rich country!
